Found the solution while browsing the Genesis source theme files. In archive.php we find:

genesis_do_posts_page_heading

Adding this line to the child theme removes the title from the Genesis posts page:

remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_posts_page_heading' );

And of course, adding it back in a different place is just as easy:

add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_do_posts_page_heading' );

I'm having the same problem. What is the specific hook to remove the blog page title but leave the post titles intact on the page?

For example, the following code in functions.php with remove titles from all pages and archive pages, but it does not work on the blog page. Tested on a fresh child theme Is this a bug?

add_action( 'get_header', 'child_remove_page_titles' );
function child_remove_page_titles() {
if ( is_page() || is_home() || is_archive() ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_taxonomy_title_description', 15 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
}
}

I figured this out after comparing my code to the Executive Pro Theme. It doesn't rule out a bug in Genesis, but it seems to be a peculiar WordPress issue. So many hours wasted because of this :(.

Basically, when registering a custom post type, you can set a true/false value for: exclude_from_search. This determines whether the custom post type appears in search results on the blog. However, setting this value to 'true' causes taxonomy archive pages to return no results. So, the value must be set as below to avoid this issue:

'exclude_from_search' => false

To be fair, WordPress do note this on the custom post type page:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Arguments

The bug ticket is below. Apparently it will not be fixed for the time being:

Edit: A workaround might be released in future: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/29418

Does anyone have a working Genesis child theme which has a registered custom post type and uses taxonomies with archives they could share here? That would rule out if it's a Genesis issue.

Did this ever get sorted out? Having the same problems with the message 'Sorry, no content matched your criteria.' on custom post type taxonomy archive pages...

Thanks for the follow up!

I found something incredibly odd. When I set Image_alignment to ' ' in the theme genesis_theme_settings_defaults, it does not register and sets the image to 'alignleft' instead. It results to this every time I click the 'reset settings' button.

However, when I use the code you provided utilising after_switch_theme as below, it sets my image alignment to ' ' after switching themes. This solves my problem and allows me to switch between themes without having to go back and setup the image alignment! Although frankly, I have no idea why setting image_alignment under the defaults does not work. A bug perhaps?

In any case, thanks for sticking with me. We got there!

//* Theme Default Settings
add_action( 'after_switch_theme', 'test_theme_setting_defaults' );
function test_theme_setting_defaults() {

if( function_exists( 'genesis_update_settings' ) ) {

genesis_update_settings( array(
'content_archive_thumbnail' => 1,
'image_alignment' => '',
) );
}
}

Thanks so much for your time!

Yes, I understand how the child themes work. I'm building a new site and it's a pain to have to go back and change the settings every time I reload the theme and switch between others for. I haven't been able to find anyone implementing the image_alignment setting in their theme defaults yet, but I will continue to look.

[Gakuranman]

Hmm. It just doesn't seem to respond to any class at all; alignright, aligncenter, alignnone. Even tried '.alignright', but the theme always defaults to alignleft...

Can you see any coding errors below? The rest of the options are being read properly, so I don't think there are errors, but I could be overlooking something!

If not, could you show me an example where you've seen this parameter successfully changed in a theme before? If I can test a known working file, I can determine if there is something else affecting the code.

//* Theme Default Settings
add_filter( 'genesis_theme_settings_defaults', 'test_theme_settings' );
function test_theme_settings( $defaults ) {
$defaults = array(
'update' => 1,
'blog_title' => 'text',
'header_right' => 0,
'site_layout' => 'full-width-content',
'nav_type' => 'nav-menu',
'nav_extras' => '',
'nav_extras_enable' => 0,
'subnav_type' => 'nav-menu',
'redirect_feeds' => 0,
'comments_pages' => 0,
'comments_posts' => 1,
'trackbacks_pages' => 0,
'trackbacks_posts' => 1,
'breadcrumb_home' => 0,
'breadcrumb_front_page' => 0,
'breadcrumb_posts_page' => 0,
'breadcrumb_single' => 0,
'breadcrumb_page' => 0,
'breadcrumb_archive' => 0,
'breadcrumb_404' => 0,
'breadcrumb_attachment' => 0,
'content_archive' => 'full',
'content_archive_limit' => 100,
'content_archive_thumbnail' => 1,
'image_size' => 'featured',
'image_alignment' => 'alignnone',
'posts_nav' => 'prev-next',
'blog_cat_num' => 10,
'theme_version' => PARENT_THEME_VERSION,
);
return $defaults;
}

Hi Marcy,

Sorry for not being clearer. I need my image alignment to be centered or set to 'nothing'. I do not want it set to alignleft.

Any ideas?
